I remember how i first discovered Norman Rockwell. I was browsing an annual book that was reviewing the year. In the section of art, there it was:

It is called The Babysitter. I think there is another one but not sure. Well, I saw one similar with a boy and a carriage called Baseball or carriage (https://www.google.ca/search?q=baseball+or+carriage+norman+rockwell&dcr=0&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=hltYaHZc9b1c0M%253A%252C3m34HwHrHC86tM%252C_&usg=__Ny3MO9vKYuP2pTlTkE4-RKoYEag%3D&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiahLvE957YAhVGbSYKHRZ2CJcQ9QEIKzAA#imgrc=hltYaHZc9b1c0M:)
On that one, there is a boy pushing a carriage. The boy crosse the path of two other boys going to play baseball. I don't know why but I kind of mixed the two in my research for the Babysitter.
In fact, I wanted to have a printed copy of the Babysitter as soon as I first saw it. It was kind of calling me. I bought a lot of book with paintings of Norman Rockwell. I was not successful. This one seems to be harder to come by and I do not know why. Finally, this year, I had my calendar for the year and this famous Babysitter is in for the month of March (norman rockwell calendar 2018). Very happy!
While knowing more about Norman Rockwell, I found out a few others interesting painting he had done. The serie on Willie Gillis is pretty interesting. I like the concept and the drawings too!
